Cook the Salmon
If grilling, place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, basting with the reserved teriyaki sauce. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, basting with sauce halfway through, until cooked through and flakey.

Garnish and Serve
